myteek Thanks for the kind words!! They are much appreciated. I know exactly what you mean about the editing taking more time than the actual writing. Even if I swear to myself that I am only going to copyedit, not content edit, I seem absolutely incapable of doing...

I was just in a discussion under Hobbies with a group of women responding to one mom's issue with her son's teacher at school. I am just curious. Are there a bunch of you out there that feel like teachers talk down to you or...

I posted this under a different category, but thought I would post it here as well. I am just curious as to mom's (dad's too) experiences with their kid's teachers. Do you feel respected and comfortable talking to them about...

myteek Well, I hope it helps a little bit, anyway. I know how frustrating it can be to feel like as a parent you are not respected. Keep us posted so we all know how you end up handling this. You are not the only one standing in these shoes, that's for...

myteek Hi Cher913, That's great to hear. I love the idea of looking at a teacher as a team member there to help us raise our children! Just out of curiosity, at what point do you think you should involve the principal (or higher)? I mean, what kinds of problems...

myteek hey cream, it's me again! You know, I think this is GREAT! Sounds like you were really assertive by telling her in a nice but direct way that you felt she was rude. This is kind of what I meant with the teacher thing...instead of going to the doctor to...

myteek Hi, I'm so sorry this happened. I have two thoughts that might be useful to you. First is that you are right...nobody has the right to talk down to you and make you feel inadequate. Every one is busy, especially moms. Maybe before going to the principal you...
